He's clearly centre-right. Of course he's not Trump or Bolsonaro, but he's not very different from Macron or the PP in Spain. The economic freedom thing is an structural condition of the country, he can't do a 180° in 4 years. I think he's pretty neutral to gay rights, being right-wing is not equal to being conservative anyway. And the "communist" label for Alberto is just ridiculous man, be serious

And you're simply wrong. Stop watching Milei youtube videos please

There are only two "major" candidates: Alberto Fernández (leftist/socialist) and Mauricio Macri, current president (moderate centre-right). They got so far 47% and 32% respectively. The third candidate has only 8%. We have a very stupid system, this round is officially the "primaries" but in actuallity it works as a nation-wide survey. The next round is the official first round (in october) but the results will be almost the same (with only the very minor candidates eliminated after today). To be elected president in the next round you need either to reach +45% of the vote or have at least 40% with a 10% difference over the 2nd placed. As you can see, Fernández with 47% is all but elected at this point. Fernández is not popular by himself, almost all his votes are provided (in truth) by his VP: former president Cristina Kirchner.

@konig where are you? Did you vote for Espert?

First round of elections in Argentina: the current president Macri is being destroyed by 15%. Bye Bye Mauricio

No, they have to win the south american qualifier in January. We're simply guessing they will win it, but they will have to play Venezuela and Colombia most likely.

Yeah, terrible. More of the same that I said in another thread: in countries without significant asian population majority of people simply ignore the connotations of this gesture.

Reception is the historic weak point of Bulgaria, it's always the main thing preventing them to be in top places.

I'll be honest, I've very little faith in Bulgaria for the tie-breaker.

32 golds, 101 medals, best ever performance outside home. And we regain 6th place after 16 years.

Brazil survives a close call. Ay ay ay I feel the comeback starts now.

Thanks all gods we won this weekend...

She was injured all tournament (some cervical problem), she didn't even show up for the bronze.

Doped medalist in... bowling (!) Puerto Rico loses the doubles gold and individual bronze.

Poland has qualified.

Argentina has qualified officially.

Our table tennis team is fighting with all their heart but Jha is simply too strong for anyone.

and he forgot to add: "and we did it with only half the budget from 3 years ago" https://twitter.com/mauriciomacri/status/1160357962361298945

Her times were simply terrible, she almost got beaten by a 35 year old that just traveled from Korea... The ignorant journalists will say she's great and bla bla but I know that it was a very bad competition from her (and I know that she also thinks that even if she won't say it openly).

No, that was with Brazil like a month ago. I meant volleyball (even though it's not confirmed yet).

3rd olympic team sport quota Argentina wins from Canada this weekend.

If it's played without limitations of player level Argentina has no opponent (I'm guessing that probably wouldn't be the case though). In fact Polo was kicked out of the olympics because Argentina won too easily.

No way they drop baseball, it's just too big in the continent. What I read is that Chile will include rink hockey, polo and expand the water ski program while they will remove pelota.

Participation finished in athletics for and the result is.... Only one bronze! pathetic, the worst I can remember.
